| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Maybe if I'm patient, an H30 will come up on A'gon for $8k....and not from some unknown character in Germany. ;-) There was an H20 up for $4100 on Audiomart a while ago and I believe it was legit. Hope springs eternal. | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Bill,Always good to hear from you! The HD20 does 375W into 4 ohms, which, based upon past auditions, is the very lowest power I'll consider for the 3.7's. I will look around for an in-home audition opportunity. The buzz I'm hearing about Hegel is ... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Cal3713,Someone at Thiel told me awhile back that they were very, very pleased with how the Hegel drove the 3.7's. Do you remember which model it was? Their flagship is out of my price range. | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Jafant,You are correct about the 3.7's need for power in order to perform optimally. Perhaps it goes without saying, but they also demand high quality watts. I've listened to some megawatt amps that weren't very musical. I wish I knew someone with... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Audiojan,How would you describe the Macs' sound with the 3.7's as opposed to the Levinson? | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Thanks Drubin. | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Drubin, What preamp does your friend use? | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Jake3tg,I wish I could afford to own and operate something like the ARC 250's, but alas, they are beyond my reach. Ditto the big VTL's. Bob Carver's Black Beauties might make it down to my neighborhood one day. | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Thanks Richardyc. I agree that the 3.7's are far from bright. They're simply the most truthful speakers I've ever heard. Ever so occasionally, the truth can hurt.;-)I've wondered how the Krell 402 might sound. Would be able to describe the Krell's... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners James63,Thanks for sharing your experience with those models. It's very instructive and tends to support some of my prejudices. I am currently auditioning a number of amps and will post my impressions when I've finished this phase of the quest. In... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners I wonder where all the actual 3.7 owners are? Guess they're happily enjoying their systems. ;-) | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Yyzsantabarbara,As Mr. Tanner noted in the audiocircle thread, the 3.7's pass along whatever is fed to them....with NO interpretation. This is a double-edged sword, so I am being very careful in my decision making process. I thought Mr. Tanner imp... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Pops,Thanks for sharing your experience! I owned the 3.6's prior to the 3.7's and can attest that the 3.7 is a serious upgrade but cannot advise as to whether it's worth the money...that's very subjective. I can say that the 3.7's are more transpa... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Yyzsantabarbara,Thanks SO much. I have also been interested in TAD speakers, but I've not had a chance to audition them.I have immense respect for Bryston. I've just had a small reservation about whether they would be too forward and analytical fo... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Wow. 210 views and no posts. If you know any 3.7 owners, please forward this on to them. It's just a poll and the results might help others. |
